The Yankees won the American League East by two games last season, but the rise of the Orioles and the fall of the Red Sox seemed to signal a shift in the division. This winter, the division has been re-sculpted by the aggressive Blue Jays, the rebuilding Red Sox and the creative Rays. Here’s a look at the moves within the division. Where do the Yankees stand?

The winter’s most aggressive team, the Blue Jays clearly sense an opportunity in this division. The Red Sox are weak, the Yankees are weaker, the Rays are somewhat rebuilding and the Orioles are stagnant. Toronto’s aggressive winter has been a remarkable thing to watch from afar. Quickly compare the additions against the key losses, and it’s a landslide in the Blue Jays favor. In the short-term, anyway.

It’s actually fairly stunning just how quiet the Orioles have been this winter. Rather than build on their breakout season, the Orioles most significant new addition is a Rule 5 lefty. They’ve lost a key power bat in Reynolds, a regular infielder in Andino and a handful of guys who played part of last season helping the Orioles make their surprising run to the playoffs.

Kind of a typical winter for the Rays, who seem perpetually in a state of rebuilding while also trying to win now. They’ve lost two huge pieces in Shields and Upton, but they’ve finally found an everyday shortstop and added one of the game’s top position prospects, who could be ready for the big leagues by mid-summer (if not earlier). They’ve done such a great job developing young pitching that they could afford to trade away Shields and Davis.

The Red Sox greatest losses from last season are the guys they actually lost before the end of the season. Kevin Youkilis, Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett and Nick Punto are all gone. So is Bobby Valentine, who was good as gone by early September. To fill the holes, the Red Sox have gone on an offseason spending spree, but they’ve missed out on the biggest names available. Instead they’re banking on bouncebacks from guys like Victorino, Dempster and Drew. They’re still trying to finalize the deal with Napoli.

The Yankees have committed significant money toward re-signing four of their own, but their only significant addition has been Kevin Youkilis, who became necessary largely because of Alex Rodriguez’s upcoming hip surgery. Right now, the Yankees seem perfectly willing to move forward without replacing Martin. Two of their most significant additions could be healthy seasons from Mariano Rivera and Brett Gardner, who were hurt most of last year, but that remains to be seen. They’re banking heavily on an aging roster remaining productive for one more year.
